I have been living in some sort of version of this outfit for meetings and events in the city. It’s funny… I was SO into blazers for so long and then I stopped wearing them – favoring trenches, long cardigans, or my army jackets. But there’s something so great about a good blazer. It makes you feel super polished and put together, and is the best way to dress up basic jeans and a tee. This exact blazer just went on sale for $45 so honestly if you take one thing away from this post, GO BUY IT. It fits like a dream (I’m wearing a small), and it’s just great. I bought it before it went on sale and still thought it was a great price… but $45? Amazing.
Hope you guys had a good weekend. I had so much fun at polo on Saturday, and yesterday was just your typical Sunday – yoga, chores, and a bunch of work. (+ reading and a nice long nap in between the boring stuff!) I got really organized, which is my favorite way to start a new week. It just makes Monday so much easier going into the week being a bit ahead on work with clearly focused to-do’s for the week! In other news, this weather is driving me crazy. So hot one day, cold and rainy the next. It’s truly bizarre!
Outfit Details: Leith Blazer // Madewell Tee // American Eagle Jeans // Manolo Blahnik Heels // Gucci Belt // Chanel Purse // Polaroid Sunglasses // Monica Vinader Diamond Bracelet (c/o)
I did some work with Monica Vinader and whenever I work with them I do a trade as I’m so obsessed with everything they make. This bracelet had been on my wish list FOREVER so I bought it with some credits I had saved up. I am pretty excited to finally own it. So sparkly and bright.
Another thing I wanted to tell you about is my obsession with American Eagle Jeans. I’m all about a good high-low outfit and these are only $50. I’ve worn them a million times on the blog but I just wanted to point these out today as it’s been a while since I talked about them. The fit is fantastic. I always size up (I’m wearing an 8 in these and am generally a size 6 in most brands) as their sizing is more in line with juniors sizing… but for affordable denim, there’s nothing better!
Seeing you in your white blazer makes me regret throwing out mine when I went through a declutter a month or so ago! You look super sophisticated, Grace. I love the slight oversized fit of the blazer. 🙂

aw thanks rachelle! x
This is your best look EVER! Wow!!!
OMG thanks Carly!!
Hope you had a great weekend and to see you soon.
ugh I am struggling to find a white blazer. I got one and my entire office was like GO RETURN THAT! So this may be the one.
I can’t get over the feeling I am a want to be doctor but you pull it off so effortlessly!
OMG this might be your blazer then! Because I ALWAYS feel like I look like I work at a Clinique counter (not sure if they still wear the white coats but they did back in the day) or doctor whenever I wear a white jacket. This one doesn’t have that effect.
You look SO sleek here, Grace! Absolutely loving this look, I’m always down to wear a good blazer!

STOP MAKING ME SPEND MONEY.
I totally bought this blazer. And the red one too.
Haha but they will be so cute on you!!!!
Love this entire outfit…you look amazing. I bought a white blazer last summer and have yet to wear it, this post is giving me some inspiration!
thank you so much Rowena! xx
One of my favorite looks of yours! Those jeans look amazing on you.
Thank you so much Rachel!
Thank you!! I’ve been on a search for a cream blazer for summer. Jumping on this deal! And I totally agree on AE jeans; I’ve lost count of the number of black high-waist jeggings I’ve purchased from them in the last 5 years.
aw good! IT’s seriously the best!
I love this outfit!!! you look amazing in those jeans!!
Thanks Natalie!!!
I absolutely LOVE this crisp and fresh summer outfit! I’m so, so pale that I struggle with wearing white but seeing this reminds me I DO need a white blazer!

This one is great as it’s off white so it’s more flattering to pale skin!!!
I ended up buying the blazer and love it! But I had to come back to this post and ask…did you cut the stitching between the lapel and collar? I can’t tell if it’s supposed to be temporary like when they stick the back flap together? Or if it’s suppose to stay that way?
I had no idea what you were talking about, so I went and checked. No – I didn’t cut any stitching!!!
Adorable looks! I love the addition of white blazer with black jeans. You are looking stunning. Thanks for sharing.
Thanks Amanda!
